After days of waiting for RedHat to fix the kernel RPMS, I finally
took upon myself to find a work-around. up2date wouldn't even proceed
with other packages. It bombs out on the kernel RPMS.
Hopefully, this weird re-install thing is limited only to kernel
packages version kernel-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL.i686.rpm kernel-source-
2.4.21-4.0.2.EL.i386.rpm.
The work-around is to do up2date --configure and then edit this line:
8. pkgSkipList ['kernel*']
Just skip the kernel and up2date will go on happily installing other
packages.
I still don't know what's causing up2date to die on kernel upgrades :-
